![]() In this summary of The Secret Barrister by The Secret Barrister, you’ll discover ![]() So much so, that the very principles of fairness and justice upon which the system was founded are under threat. Due to politically influenced budget cuts and a general lack of knowledge about what really goes on, the system is suffering from a lack of money and resources. The Secret Barrister wants people to better understand the everyday realities of the criminal justice system in England and Wales, and it’s not a pretty picture. So it stands to good reason that we should all know how that machinery works. There’s an extremely good chance that at some point in your life, you or someone you know will find themselves thrust into the machinery of your local legal system. ![]() ![]() We enjoy the twists and turns of the plot as the hero gets bounced around the courts and thank our lucky stars that we’ll never have to defend ourselves against a criminal accusation or be cross-examined on the witness stand. Our perceptions of criminal justice systems come from what we see on TV or read in legal thrillers. ![]()

I’m so grateful I can share this brave, determined, and ultimately flawed character with you. Kaikeyi began many years ago, as I listened to my Aai and Ajji disagree about the character of Kaikeyi in the Ramayana. I believe Goodreads should stay a platform for readers, so I'll be continuing my policy of avoiding this page after posting this.

It’s an alternately affirming and cruel reality, a puzzle that the poem’s narrator, like many who have lost a loved one, seems to feel is not quite right. Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood įor nothing now can ever come to any good.Īuden’s poem resonates with readers because it addresses a basic emotional predicament-that after someone dies, the world keeps spinning without them. The stars are not wanted now: put out every one Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,īring out the coffin, let the mourners come.Įach of the four stanzas reads like an eloquent study in grief, including the last four lines, which leave a lump in the throat: Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, The poem is also known as “Stop all the clocks,” a reference to its rousing first stanza: ![]() ![]() ![]() Darley, Melissa, Justine, and her husband Nessim develop a complicated relationship afterwards. And I fell in love with the lyrical voice of Durrell/Darley, the schoolteacher-novelist narrator who falls in love with Justine, the exotic, promiscuous, mysterious woman no man can apparently resist: she is a kind of Cleopatra.īefore Darley met Justine, he was involved with Melissa, a frail, hashish-smoking exotic dancer. ![]() ![]() I spent most of my time sweatily reading in the back yard. I first read The Alexandria Quartet in my student days in Bloomington, during a typically humid, hot Midwestern summer, with oversized verdant plants climbing and blowsy flowers blooming. In the ’50s, Durrell’s poeticism flourished. ![]() Published from 1957 to 1960, these books are elegant but occasionally too flowery. Other characters, particularly Balthazar and Clea (Mountolive is the hero of the prequel), contribute their viewpoints, so that a clearer picture is revealed. Over the course of the quartet, Durrell’s narrator, Darley, reiterates and augments a series of events in the lives of his lover Justine and a group of friends in Alexandria, Egypt. The narrative is psychologically-oriented and fragmented. In his gorgeously-written, percipient tetralogy, Justine, Balthazar, Mountolive, and Clea, the prose is moody and lush. Lawrence Durrell’s The Alexandria Quartet is not for everybody. ![]() ![]() The Mountains of Mourning: This story won both the Hugo and Nebula awards for best novella. I read the old ’89 version of Borders of Infinity. Baen published most of the Vorkosigan series in omnibus editions, with these novellas scattered in various editions, so that might be the better way to read these. They’re some of the best of the entire Vorkosigan saga, especially the award-winning “The Mountains of Mourning.” The other two stories are also important, as they introduce some new characters and set up the following couple of novels in the sequence. ![]() A short story collection may not seem entirely essential for the casual fan, but I’d recommend reading all three stories. Borders of Infinity collects three Miles short stories (or novellas, rather), all originally published separately in magazines, with a little framing device tying them together. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() For me, however, it is their predecessors, the Plantagenets, with whom I have always been fascinated – I am an avid Ricardian – and I was excited to see how Alison Weir would deal with the life of Elizabeth of York, the last Plantagenet and the woman who united the houses of Lancaster and York to bring the Wars of the Roses to an end. Alison Weir has written some of the most detailed and fascinating books, both fictional and non-fiction, on this period and it a well known authority on the subject. It is peopled by some of the most fascinating characters that ever lived – Henry VIII, Elizabeth I – and was a time of massive and lasting political change in England. Many people will tell you that their favourite period of history is the Tudor period, and it is easy to understand why. ![]() ![]() ![]() They tidied the office and disinfected the instruments, then said goodbye at the door as they did every evening, neither suspecting that they'd never see each other again.
